What the hell happened to Rubes, he was playing like a man possessed last year. He was unstoppable.

A persistent rib injury has a lot to do with it. He still has the odd "possessed" game, but they're few and far between these days.

Personally I think his best contribution to the club for next year and beyond could be from the sidelines.

 

[Phillips]

most of the panthers 03 side..

 

[effnic]

Nathan Hindmarsh.

x 2

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

Ruben fkn Wiki

Dude needs to jump in a time machine, go back to 2005, and RETIRE

 

[Munky]

most of the panthers 03 side..

For sure, only Waterhouse has shown good form this year.

Even the players at other clubs turned to rubbish, Presto and Fatz are useless now.

 

[bartman]

Surprised no-one has taken a punt on... Sonny Bill :sarcasm: ?

 

[skeepe]

Nathan Hindmarsh. Although that would imply that he was ever good to begin with.

Billy Slater.

 

[Muffdaddy]

John Howard

 

[Butters]

Billy Slater

Are you serious? I just read in the courier mail today that he tops the kick return metres at 1618m, with Brett Stewart at 1200ish and Matt Bowen in the 800's.

 

[Clock watcher]

NSW SoS selectors looked a little out dated this year??????

 

[Red Bear]

So Wiki is playing on next season?

Skeepe, you're a goose

True, I just think he's losing some of his brilliance and replacing it with thuggery.

Besides, basing how good a player is purely on kick returns, then Denan Kemp's average of 120.5m per game would make him the best fullback in the world. It's the whole package, and I honestly think Slater is dipping.

Billy Slater.

I'll bet you wish both were Raiders...:lol:

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Surprised no-one has taken a punt on... Sonny Bill :sarcasm: ?

Why would they? He's been in career best form for much of the season.

 

[parra pete]

Mark O'Meley..definitely. He is the shadow of the feared player he once was..
Once was good, now........

 

[LeagueNut]

So Wiki is playing on next season?

At this stage, yes. But who knows what the off-season will bring ... :whistle

 

[Misty Bee]

I guess you could list any player over 27 in the NRL. Therefore Hindy, Lockyer Bedsy et al.

The trick is to pick the young 'uns. Scott Cramm jumped the shark after 15 first grade games.

Therefore, I'll nominate cutie.
